Note
Make sure that the contact area of the disposable electrode is not dry to
maintain a good connection between the electrode and the skin.
If you suspect that the disposable electrode is in poor contact, replace it
immediately with a new electrode. Otherwise, the contact impedance of the
skin and electrode will increase, and the correct ECG signal will not be
obtained.
If the contact condition gets worse before expiration date on the packaging,
replace with a new one.
To get a stable ECG waveform, rub the skin with gel or benzoin tincture.
ECG Precaution
Caution
ECG diagnostic interpretation should be performed by a veterinarian or an
individual trained under the supervision of a veterinarian.
Use caution with potential source equipment as they may interfere with ECG
monitoring.
Animals prone to epilepsy should not rely entirely on ECG. Electrical waves of
non-cardiac sources such as seizures can interfere with the detection of certain
arrhythmias.
Warning
CABLES — Route all cables away from animal's throat to avoid possible
strangulation.
CONDUCTIVE CONNECTIONS — Extreme care must be exercised when
applying medical electrical equipment. Many parts of the human/machine
circuit are conductive, such as the animal, connectors, electrodes,
transducers. It is very important that these conductive parts do not come
